You will be able to play Dungeon Drafters on April 27th! The game will be released on the PC platform and we will be super excited to see you finally getting your hands into the game! As for consoles, we are currently working with our publisher on the porting. We want the game to reach your favorite console as soon as possible, but that does not depend only on our side, since it is a complicated process that has a lot of people involved.

Music Collab

We have some extra news to share! As you may remember, we promised a special collaboration as part of our Kickstarter extra goal. And now, we're happy to announce that it's finally done!
We had the honor of working with the talented Hiroki Kikuta, a renowned composer known for notable games like Secret of Mana. We decided to collaborate with him on the game's Arena song, which is a special dungeon that includes most of the Kickstarter extra content. The song is pure Kikuta magic! It's simply amazing, and we can't wait for you to listen to it! Click here to Listen to it!

Development Report

In addition to preparing for the release, we are also putting in a lot of effort to continue improving the game!

• Final Revisions

We're completely finished adding content for quite some time now! Over the next weeks we'll be fine-tuning and polishing the game to release it in the best and most beautiful state possible. Since we started the development a lot has changed, and our standards of quality have changed as well. We've created a lot of content that no longer holds to the quality that we want the game to have on its final version. So, we are working hard to polish a few harsh edges here and there. This includes improving VFX, reviewing level design, smoothing out art, fixing bugs, and improving QoL.

• Final Game UI

During the closed playtest that we've made in November we also noticed a couple of details that we wanted to change in the interface. For example, recently we reworked the dungeon interface structure, making so that cards are draw from the left, and discard on the right, allowing players to have a better visibility of what is happening with their cards. At this point, all interfaces are finished, and we're now polishing them to make them as intuitive and visually appealing as possible.
New In-Dungeon UI We've also noticed that there was a lack of teaching the game in the Adventurer's Town. Players would get lost with all of the content, and some would never figure out how to travel to a dungeon or open the deck builder. That's why we designed the in-game guide! Which will help players figure out tons of information about the game while playing.
Town Map available on the Guide!
Lengthy In-game Guide to help players! The guide includes a list of cards, bestiary, NPCs key information and a map to help you navigate around! As you make progress in the game, more content is discovered in the guide, making it a reliable source to check information about entities and mechanics in the game.

• Save System!

Back in November, we've received feedback that a save system in-dungeon would be great. That's because we learned that runs in Dungeon Drafters can take up to hours, depending on your playstyle, deck, and knowledge about the game. After much trial and error, we found a way to allow players to save mid-run and keep their progress when leaving inside a dungeon.
Save Shrine on the Second Floor of a Dungeon! You can now safely save your progress without having to return to the Adventurer's Town. For those who like to take the crawling part slow, you can finish just a single floor and resume your session later! No saving on the boss floor though

• Cutscenes

We're almost done with the cutscenes we talked about in the last Kickstarter update, and let us just say, they're pretty cool and visually stunning. We're not showing much because of... spoilers!

• Localizations

We're almost finished with all the localizations! While we promised only English, Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese on the game's Kickstarter, we eventually agreed on also localizing for French, LATAM Spanish, German, Korean, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, and Russian. We're currently testing to ensure everything is working smoothly. Our publisher is helping a ton with localization and reached out to the best professionals out there to ensure the game will have a solid translation.
ja-JP Localization!
pt-BR Localization!
fr-FR Localization! Dungeon Drafters is actually a very hard game to localize. Text space is often too small, terms need to be super consistent to ensure mechanics can be correctly understood, and lore dialogues have nuances based on characters personality and values. We want to reach as many players as possible, and we hope every language received enough love from our localizers as we asked them to!

Thank you

Since the Kickstarter campaign, we've been putting all of our energy into ensuring that the game is the best it can be. Our efforts will continue until the very last moment! As the release date approaches, we feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. It's incredibly meaningful to us to be able to share this journey with all of you, and we'd like to express our gratitude to everyone who has participated thus far. We hope you're as thrilled as we are and that you'll enjoy the game as much as we do! Warm regards, Rafael Fressato
